"Brother Hao, that Roasted Centipede of yours won't kill anyone, right? It won't draw the experts from Shrek Academy, will it?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said worriedly.
Huo Yuhao waved a hand, utterly unconcerned. "It shouldn't go that far. They're just ordinary centipedes being roasted, and the ones buying Roasted Centipede are all soul masters. At most, they'll get diarrhea. They can find a Healing System soul master and be cured. Besides, how could the experts of Shrek Academy possibly bother with such a small matter?"
"That's good." Only then did Sky Dream Ice Silkworm relax.
"Don't worry. Solid as hell." Huo Yuhao gave Sky Dream Ice Silkworm a thumbs-up.
Brother Hao looked reckless, but Brother Hao was steady as hell.
Huo Yuhao raised his head and checked his own Fortune.
Mm, there had been no change. That meant there was no problem.
Disaster had yet to catch up with Brother Hao's steps.
Keep roasting centipedes.
"Huo's Roasted Centipede, king among centipedes, crispy in texture, spicy, numbing, fresh, and fragrant... eat Roasted Centipede, become a real man... over three hundred million sold in a year, and if laid end to end, they could circle the Douluo Continent ten times!"
When the passersby heard Huo Yuhao's advertisement, their brows immediately furrowed.
False advertising?
Could they endure that?
They had to try it!
"What you said is true... cough, cough, give me two skewers first!"
"Two skewers? Can you even manage, skinny dog? Boss, give me ten skewers!"
"A good wife at home, and even goji berries can't cure you... Boss, give me twenty skewers first so I can taste them!"
Putting everything else aside, although Roasted Centipede looked rather frightening, the aroma was the real deal.
Huo Yuhao raised a brow as he looked at the crowd of soul masters gathering around him, inevitably a little puzzled.
Were the soul masters of the Douluo Continent all this weak?
But that did not stop Huo Yuhao from doing business.
"Big brother, can sister-in-law handle twenty skewers? They're very nourishing." Huo Yuhao deliberately asked with concern.
His voice was soft, his tone cocky.
When everyone heard that it was actually that nourishing, how could they let it go?
"Boss, give me thirty skewers!"
"Give me thirty-five skewers!"
"Forty!"
The skewer stand instantly turned into an auction.
"Bosses, there aren't that many Roasted Centipedes left. Do you want to try Roasted Scorpion? Scorpions stab people, painful and numbing."
"Right, right, bring some Roasted Scorpion too. And what effect does that Roasted Spider have? Never mind, just give me some of everything!"
"None of you fight me for them. I'll pay double! Tonight, I've got a great battle where one spear takes on three heroes!"
The customers' eyes had already gone red.
Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, and the strange light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
A few minor tricks of an Evil Cultivator to bewitch people's hearts, used together with the Spirit Eye Martial Soul, had quite a good effect.
No technique, all skill.
Until finally, the last female customer dragged her boyfriend over and bought up all the remaining Roasted Centipede, Roasted Scorpion, and Roasted Spider at triple the price.
Huo Yuhao was so tired that sweat flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Huo Yuhao could only remind her with concern, "Sister, remember not to get on the bed tonight. The bed will collapse!"
Sister looked back with a smile. "We're fighting in the wild today..."
Sister's boyfriend's face went pale.
Huo Yuhao: 6
That was fine too. Out in the wild, they would not have to keep running to the toilet again and again.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was already dumbstruck. "Those bugs can actually sell this well?"
As a fellow bug, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hugged himself in sympathy for his kind.
What was wrong with this world? Being a bug was truly too hard!
"More than two hundred Roasted Centipedes, Roasted Scorpions, and Roasted Spiders. Counting the ones sold at double and triple price, and subtracting the cost of the barbecue stove and charcoal, which was two Silver Soul Coins, tonight we made over four hundred Gold Soul Coins in pure profit. That's enough for our expenses going north. It's just that this business kind of ruins people."
As for the cost of ingredients, he could only thank the Star Dou Great Forest for its gifts.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was rather speechless at Huo Yuhao's words. "The ones being ruined are the customers, right?"
"That's not important. After this, I should find a place to cultivate properly. Once I cultivate to level twenty in Shrek City, I'll head north to the Far North Land and pull the Ice Empress into the team." Huo Yuhao packed up his stall while making plans.
In truth, the barbecue stall was already useless. Huo Yuhao took the barbecue stall away so he could sell it secondhand and recover half a Silver Soul Coin.
When Sky Dream Ice Silkworm heard Huo Yuhao's arrangements, he suddenly fell silent.
Although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm also wanted to see the Ice Empress as soon as possible, this time he hesitated.
"Brother Hao, how about... we don't go to the Far North Land for now?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said tentatively.
Huo Yuhao froze, and his hands paused as he packed up the stall. Somewhat puzzled, he asked, "Why?"
"If we abduct... take Bing Bing away now, the Snow Empress might still run into trouble like in the original work. At that time, the Far North Land will definitely fall into chaos. And Brother Hao, you also haven't joined Shrek Academy according to the original plot. The plot has already changed. In the future, will you still be able to save the Snow Empress?"
The corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth hooked up. "Brother Sky Dream, tell me, is there a possibility that I can have them all?"
Lock Two Emperors in Bronze Sparrow. Would that not be wonderful?
If possible, he could also take the Titan Snow Demon King and the Ice Bear King under him. Then the Far North Land could basically be said to have fallen entirely into Huo Yuhao's hands.
Huo Yuhao wiped the disappointing drool from the corner of his mouth.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was deeply shaken. This was a path he had never imagined.
Just then, a voice broke the fantasy time of one man and one bug.
"Little Brother Huo?"
Someone actually recognized Huo Yuhao!
Huo Yuhao raised his head in the direction of the voice and discovered that the person who had come was actually Bei Bei, whom he had not seen in a long time. However, this time, Bei Bei was alone.
When Bei Bei walked closer, Huo Yuhao's expression changed greatly.
Because Bei Bei no longer had the refined, calm bearing he had possessed before. Instead, his face was deathly pale, his cheeks were sunken, and he looked weak and hollowed out. His brows were filled with worry.
Even after seeing Huo Yuhao, the smile he made failed to dilute his sorrow.
They had not seen each other for just over a week. How had Bei Bei become like this?
Bei Bei also confirmed Huo Yuhao's identity and smiled. "Cough, cough, it really is Little Brother Huo. After not seeing you for a while, Little Brother Huo seems much more spirited."
Huo Yuhao went up to him and asked, "Big Brother Bei Bei? What happened to you? How could Sister Tang Ya treat you like this? Why is sister so thoughtless about cherishing brother? Sigh, Big Brother Bei Bei has truly suffered!"
Even if he was unwilling to step into the Tang Sect's cesspit, that did not stop Huo Yuhao from interacting with Bei Bei. Besides, Bei Bei had already come to him of his own accord.
When Bei Bei heard Huo Yuhao's words, he first froze, then reacted and realized that Huo Yuhao had misunderstood. He immediately became a little embarrassed. "Little Brother Huo, cough, cough, you've misunderstood. I'm like this not because of Xiao Ya. Cough, cough, sigh, that's not right either. Actually, me being like this does have something to do with Xiao Ya, but it's absolutely not Xiao Ya's fault..."
As he spoke, Bei Bei began to feel sorrowful.
No, why did you start coughing as you talked?
Huo Yuhao looked at Bei Bei's complexion. Based on the medical knowledge in Pudu Cihang's memories, Huo Yuhao was surprised to discover that Bei Bei's appearance and behavior were not merely a matter of kidney deficiency.
Bei Bei looked more like he had used some forbidden technique, overdrawn himself, and had also been injured. Therefore, right now, he was weak everywhere!
This was not as simple as being drained dry by Tang Ya.
I knew it. In the original work, Bei Bei and Tang Ya didn't develop this fast either, Huo Yuhao muttered inwardly.
If Tang Ya had squeezed Bei Bei like this in the original work, then by the time Tang Ya graduated, at the very least she would have been pregnant with a Little Dragon Man.
Then Huo Yuhao glanced at the Fortune above Bei Bei's head.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Dragon Shadow in his Fortune was weak, proving that Bei Bei was in poor condition.
The speck of light inside the Dragon Shadow that represented potential, however, had become a little brighter.
Moreover, the Fortune on Bei Bei's body had increased quite a bit, except it had mainly increased in the middle. The Fortune at the lower end was almost impossible to see. This was a sign that his line was going to end.
The reason Bei Bei had been seriously injured, yet his Fortune had instead increased...
Was because above Bei Bei's Fortune, the dark clouds belonging to the Tang Sect that had once loomed over him had now become abnormally thin. This meant that Bei Bei's connection to the Tang Sect had begun to weaken, and might even break at any moment!
Correspondingly, the auspicious clouds representing Shrek Academy had become even richer.
In summary, this meant that there was a huge problem in Bei Bei and Tang Ya's relationship!
Why was it so sudden?
Huo Yuhao grabbed Bei Bei's hand. "Come on, Big Brother Bei Bei. Today, this little brother will treat you to a drink!"
Then please tell me your story!
